Tho hours xi arc away j and at la?t tbc day light, oatne. Mrs. Raymond and Kale had not heon disturbed sine > tho Doctor loft. Colonel Willis had fallen inib a docp sleep, that lasted for hours. Quiet and still had they rotuaiued, iho mother wrapped in her sorrows, and tho . (daughter, wntohing her mother's face Rising :at length, and going to her mother, she threw 3ior arms around her neck, nur} Icirxd her again and again. No words were exchanged j .each seemed in silence to communo with the Other. Both were thinking of the ono, who ^.'.tflay In his cold, narrow bed j both hearts were ihcavy with the weight of woe, so lately laid o:> ithein. Whoi? day had fairly dawned, the troops Le tgan to move. The shrill buglo. and quick rat tlo of drums called to reveille tho drowsy men. Id an hour thoy woro forming to move olf. Tents had been struck, and wagons^ made ready;?the order was given to ':fall in." The heavy tramp of the soldiors began, just at nunrisoj (tho army halted only ono night), ,nnd until long after noon, thoy woro still pass ing. They were marching to Columbia) and iiuauy wore tho throats bruathed against tho .'?.doomed oity." A. .thrill of relief shot through Kate's frame as ?ho saw them passing by. Sho was relieved .to.seo them leave L?, but aim know that mis ery and utter desolation awaited those who hud ? to ,e;aco\itjtor them. About throo o'clock ju t]jo afternoon, a company of cavalry rode ???-:??-r-?ry-?"7.-t-L~" ? 5titofl1?o yard.' 'ThV officer dismounted, and hobbled into tho house. Ho was very badly crippled, und walked with dilliculty. Ho camo in, looked around, and said to Kate in au insc lotttono/^ >1,J ? i,i,>r;*, ' \,v\> haven't scon ^^'hai^ooh'you, judging fredrt tho lino cohditiou of . things around mo. Where's that reb, that you have hero ??I am 8out bore to gather up stragglers ; but before I go, I waut to tnko n look at him." ' Brushing rudely past Kato, ho entorod tho room, nnd looking around, said, "Woll, old lady, what do you think of tho yanks now ? Did you see their horns, or did the dovils, or you thiuk them, show you kindness. Didn't hear any chains clauking, did you ?"j "No," replied Kate, "wo have only soon the cloven foot," pointing to his crippled foot. Lie cursed her; then turned, and loft tho room, swearing vengeance against all rebels. His rago know no bounds; nnd I :d not a superior offioor ridden up, tho house would have been burned, ero ho loft that afternoon. That night, a heavy rain fell, deluging the smouldering piles of charred timber, aud beating pitilessly on tho houseless wanderers. >Many found refugo in the churohes ; somo in old, deserted cabins ; aud others woro crowded together in the few rcmniuing houses. Where the night before, thousands had camped, uut an enemy was to be fouud. Like a fierce tornado, thoy had swept over tho land, leaving a track of waste and ruin, to mark their course. CHAPTER ,V. For mnny days, Colonel Willis hovered near tho confines of death. Mrs. Raymond had sent for her brother, Dr. Rutland. lie was a bachelor; and, having boon burnt out, he went to live at the Retreat with his sister. Ho faithfully uurscd and attended the sick and wounded mau. One morning, his patieut seemed worse. A dull, hoavy stupor had come over him ; his pukio boat slow, and life seemed almost extinct. Calling Kato to the bedside, ho told her to stay there uutil ho camo back; and, as ho was goings out, said, "If you perceive any change, of death seemed Bottling on that white face. Sho had ucver seen death but onoo beforo; and thou it enmo calmly as docs sloop visiting tho eyes of a Weary child. Douglass had passed away without a groan or spasm. Sho sat, watching the twitching, n'ervous face be fore her. A deep groan was tittered, as though tho soul was being torn from its earth ly hubitatiou. Sho grow frightened; and start ed to cull her uncle; but, just thou, he cu te red. "Have you observed any change, Kato ?" "Oh ! undo Archie, ho is dying !" "Don't bo frightened, my dear. 1 don't think it is bo serious as that." Dr. Rutl??u felt tho cold, stiff hand, and examined the wound. ^KtitOj oomo horo again. I want you to hold this bundago for mo." Dr, Rutland baudaged the wound agaiu ; thcu administered a strong tonic, and sat dowu to watch the struggle. Kato stood at *tho foot of the bod, scarcely moving for hours. Mrs. Raymond was watcb iugi *b"e%idc tho apparently dyiug man. The ifltriigglo'" I ^'-vecn death aud lifo lasted that 'day;''nua when night set on, Dr. Rutland sdld, if no change took place for tho bettor, ho must die. About twelve o'clock, a slight chnngo was perceptible; and cousciousucss appeared to ro tur? for a moment. Ho opened bis eyes, and moanod feebly; recognizing no one, be closed his eyes wearily. Dr. Rutland gave him a little brandy, and said, "Try and sleep again." The Word? were not heeded, for ho sank back and breathed, as though already in a deep sleep. * "I think the morning will bring a great change. 11c scorns a great dual bettor; but wc must watch him closely." ******* The dark angel took its flight, and tho life current flowed back to its channel. Carter Willis woke, to life and happiness. Through tho long, weary hours of a tedious convnloa uncc, Kato was his tender, faithful nurse. She read to him ; or, when he was weary of read ing, she gave him a description of the burn ing of L?, as sho saw it; or, she would tell him of the pillaging of the hotiso, of the soaroh for silver aud other valuables, of tho mad f ury of tho Captaiu with the cloven foot. Tho hours were filled with joy to Carter : but, ulns for Kato, the bittor tc^r flowed uiauy times. Coloucl Willis, a stratiger, was spared ; aud her own uoblo brother taken. Murtnurings would arise ; sho could not bow submiasivoly to tho wise dispensations of Providence. Colonel Willis wns able to Icavo I.is room again, for too first time iu muuy weeks. He leunod heavily on Dr. Rutland's arm; aud when ho reached tho parlor, ho sank down ex hausted. From that, began his rapid improve ment in health; nnd soon ho was able to joiu Kato in her morning and ovenitig walk. 1 One dr; he walked outaloue. He had been very'little of Kato that morning. . Mrs. Ray mond told him, alto had gbuo out to box; n sick neighbor. Asking tho dircotion, that Bho hud tnkon, ho wont out, hopi?g^t?'rnSet M6n qn.hcr rot?Vu.

Vent of Sherman ; nnd, whou ho wokec/tom the long .sloop of* "unconsciousness, nud. found that Kato was his 'nurse arid* attendant, h? loved !>cr with the dcop forvor of a warm, generous, noble heart. lie longed to toll her of his iovo; but tho sadnoss, that filled her swoct fnoo, checked him. Not thou could ho tell her of the lovo, that Boomed to form a part of his existence. Ho walked ou, thinking of her Ilo had hoped to meet her; but as yet he saw (nothing of her; and Mrs. Raymond had told him the di-tauco was ouly a half inilo from tho "Retreat.*' Feeling weary, ho sat down nnd rested, awaiting her coming. While waiting for her, ho took out his diary, nnd made an entry for that day. [to be continued.] VARIOUS. Does tho Laboring Mau Tay Taxes I While the producing industries of tho coun try arc unjustly taxed, and tho almost iutolc rable burdens of tho war rest upon thoso who fought the battles and made tho sacrifices, those who tilled the land to produce supplies, and those who labored iu tho workshops, the organs of the Radicals aro asserting that the wealthy bondholders arc the meu who pay all our tovouuc8. Tho orgau of the Radicals of | Lorain county, replying to an article which recently appeared iu the Plain Dealer, sneor ingly says that "not one laborin// man in every hxaulrcd pays a penny of taxes to the. yoc crnment, directly." Truo the laboring man docs not pay his taxes directly to the Govern ment, but every man of souso knows that the consumer pays the ta* upon every article manufactured by capital. A practical work.-] ing-man, a-few days ago, being iu our office,'! handed us the following, which ia a volumo of argument toj^ovo that the poor man docs pa a j "Radical legislation requires tho consumer to pay all the taxes. It taxes The hat ou your head. The boots on your feet. The clothes on your person. Tho food you oat. Tbc tea nnd coffee you drink. Tho put it is cooked in. Tho cup you drink it out of. Tho implements on your farm. The tools you work with. Tho paper you write on. The peu and ink you uso. The paper nnd books you road. The furniture in your bouse. Tho gas or oil you burn. Tho ooal you consume The stovo you burn it in. The match you light it with. ^ * The mcdiciuo you take. The tobacco you smoke. The pipe you smoko it in. The dishes on your tablo. All you cat off them. The laboring man of tho country, who owus a little house and lot, which he has earnod by toiling from early morning to night, pays Stato tax, couuty tax, eity tax, road tax, put upon it, while hia next door neighbor, who is a bond-bolder, owning $50,000 in bouds, pays uo tax whatever, draws his interest in gold, and laughs at bis more unfortunate poor neigh bor, who has his money in u little homo ! If the masses of tho laboring men desire equal taxation of every species of property according to its real value, Govcrnmcut bouda and other securities included*; if thoy want one currency for the Government and the people, the laborer and the office-holder, the pensioner and the soldier, the producer and tho bond-holdor, they will uot vote tho Radical ticket, but will vote that of the Democracy. A Gar vet Rauoer Makes a Conserva tive Speech?In New Orleans, recently, a wlnto Radical, hitherto regarded as tho per sonification of all that is most objoctional to the Southern whiles, and recently a delegate from dissatisfied Republicans to Washington, was invited to address them, and his speech was in substanco as follows : "My friends, I am a carpet-bagger. 1 ad .mit it. I have been among you for some time, and have nover eeasod to advocato your cause in the press of tho North?iu jtho three load ing Republican newspapers of Now York, Washington and Philadelphia.

Goncral David Huntor, the I'rcsidont of the Military Commission that tried and couvifctod Mrs. Surratt, is out ia a card, denying; the statement first made iu Itadionl papers that he had refused to sign the application for the par don of Mrs. Surratt. Ho Haya in his card that bo has ' always looked with utter contompt on tho oxecution of the poor woman." Thus, one by one tho member of this court are tryiug to get away from responsibility in this opse Mr. Biugbam, the Judgu-Advocatoofthe court, says bo prepared tho potition for pardon, bulk added that evory member of the court with otic oxcoption. signed it.. That oxcoption, tho Radical papers said was General Hunter, and now the latter not only dcuios it, but says ho "looked with utter oontompt upou tho oxoou tion of the poor woman." Can the members of the oourt explain why it was thou that Mrs. Surrntt was pronounced equally guilty aud de serving of death with i'aiue, Herold and At zorodt? Why was sho prououueed ouo of iho chief criminals instead of being placed iu the category with O'Loughlin and Mudd who wore not adjudged guilty uf oirences deserving of deathV It is rather late iu the day fur tho utcuibors of the court to attempt to escape from tho responsibility of Mrs. Surrutt's busty execution. If you love, love more. If you hate,hate less. Life is too short to spend in bating any one Why war against a mortal who is going the same road with you? Why not expand the flower uf life and happiness by learning to love? Vom' b inds mny be hard, but your heart need not be.
